The leader line comparison test is on pause for now due to equip failure. The ceramic ring inside the rod-tip eye broke and fell out.
Other than the equipment failure this AM, the J-Fluoro Leader line is functioning equally with the Seaguar InvizX leader line.
Strong and still super sensitive to the bump!
Tight lines everyone!
